Ex-Williams Sonoma duo Lexi Kentmann and Chantal Jesson launch new agency

Two seasoned lifestyle communications professionals, Lexi Kentmann and Chantal Jesson, have teamed up launch a new Sydney consultancy Lennie.

The duo’s new agency will offer public relations, social strategy, content creation and brand marketing, with a particular focus on interiors and lifestyle.

“The conversation is shifting. We’re meeting more brands who want to invest in something deeper than the transaction – building genuine connections with their customers, earning trust rather than just buying attention,” said Jesson, in a press release statement.

“Lexi and I had been collaborating on campaigns for years, and we kept arriving at the same conclusion: the most effective work happens when everything moves together. Lennie is how we do that properly – seamlessly integrated, built for the long term.”

Jesson spent almost a decade leading marketing for premium cookware brand Williams Sonoma before launching her own influencer agency, Clectiv, in 2022.

Kentmann also spent five years at Williams Sonoma as head of PR and brand marketing before founding her own PR consultancy, Alexandra Kentmann Comms.

“Brands can expect us to work as an extension of their team, genuinely invested in their objectives,” Kentmann added in the release.

“We’re known for our infectious passion for our work; that energy drives outcomes.”
